in addition, each embodiment of the following description has one or more features, respectively, which does not mean that the inventor must implement all features of any embodiment at the same time, or that only some or all of the features of different embodiments can be implemented separately. In other words, those skilled in the art can implement some or all of the features of any one embodiment or a combination of some or all of the features of multiple embodiments selectively, depending on the design specifications or implementation requirements, thereby increasing the flexibility of the implementation of the invention where implemented as possible.
The invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to make the objects, advantages and features of the invention more apparent. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are all to a non-precise scale, merely for convenience and clarity in aiding in the description of embodiments of the invention. The same or similar reference numbers in the drawings refer to the same or similar parts.
Fig. 1 to 3 are schematic views illustrating an application scenario of a surgical robot system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the surgical robot system includes a control end and an execution end, the control end includes a doctor console and a doctor end control device 10 disposed on the doctor console, and an operation master hand (in the drawing) is disposed on the doctor end control device 10. The execution end includes devices such as a patient end control device (not shown), a surgical operation device 20, an image display device 30, an endoscope assembly (not shown) and the like. Wherein the endoscope assembly is used for entering the body of the target object 1 and acquiring an image of a target tissue 2 located in the body of the target object 1. The endoscope assembly comprises a first endoscope 41 and a second endoscope 42. The image display device 30 is communicatively connected to the endoscope assembly and is configured to receive and display the image of the target tissue 2 acquired by the endoscope assembly.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the surgical operation device includes an operation platform 21 and a plurality of robot arms 22. The plurality of robot arms 22 are respectively referred to as a first robot arm 22a, a second robot arm 22b, and a third robot arm (not labeled in the drawing). The first mechanical arm 22a is used for mounting the first endoscope 41, the second mechanical arm 22b is used for mounting the second endoscope 42, the number of the third mechanical arms 22c is at least one, and each third mechanical arm is used for mounting a surgical instrument (not shown in the figure) which is used for entering the interior of the target object 1 to perform a surgical operation on the target tissue 2. Here, the target object 1 is, for example, a patient or, in a simulated operation, a phantom, and the guiding means is, for example, a stamp card.
Generally, as shown in fig. 5, the endoscope includes a light source interface 40a, a mirror lever 40b, and an image capturing element 40c. Wherein the light source interface 40a is disposed at the proximal end of the mirror rod 40b and is configured to interface with a light source (not shown). The image pickup element 40c is disposed at the distal end of the mirror lever 40b, and picks up an image of the target tissue 2 based on the illumination light generated by the light source.
In operation, the light source interface 40a of the first endoscope 41 is connected to a first light source, the light source interface 40a of the second endoscope 42 is connected to a second light source, and the second illumination light generated by the second light source is different from the first illumination light generated by the first light source. In one exemplary embodiment, one of the first light source and the second light source is a white light source, the other is a fluorescent light source, and then one of the first illumination light and the second illumination light is white light, and the other is fluorescent light. Thus, the endoscope connected to the light source generating white light is a white light endoscope, and the endoscope connected to the light source generating fluorescence is a fluorescence endoscope. When the surgical robot system is used to perform a surgical operation, the combined use of the first endoscope 41 and the second endoscope 42 can effectively achieve the effect of identifying or enhancing the visual saliency of the target tissue.
During the operation, the operator alternately observes the target tissue 2 using the first endoscope 41 and the second endoscope 42. That is, the operator switches the endoscope according to the actual need during the operation. It will be appreciated that if the operator is currently viewing the target tissue 2 with the first endoscope 41, then at the present time the target tissue 2 must be within the field of view of the first endoscope 41, but it may not be within the field of view of the second endoscope 42. For the case where the target tissue 2 is not within the visual field of the second endoscope 42 at the present time (as shown by the second endoscope 42 drawn with a solid line in fig. 6), if the operator needs to switch to observe the target tissue 2 with the second endoscope 42, the second robot arm 22b needs to be controlled to move to adjust the pose of the second endoscope 42 so that the second endoscope 42 moves to a state where its visual field covers the target tissue 2 (as shown by the second endoscope 42 drawn with a broken line in fig. 6) to satisfy the requirement that the target tissue 2 appears within the visual field of the second endoscope 42.
Further, the surgical robotic system further includes an endoscope adjustment device communicatively coupled to the surgical manipulation apparatus and the endoscope assembly and configured to receive the images acquired by the endoscope assembly and to perform an endoscope adjustment method aimed at quickly and accurately adjusting the pose of the second robotic arm 22b to the field of view of the second endoscope 42 covering the target tissue by the execution of the endoscope adjustment method.
The embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific setting mode of the endoscope adjusting device, as long as the method can very execute the pose adjusting method of the mechanical arm. Optionally, the endoscope adjusting device is disposed on a doctor-side control device, or the endoscope adjusting device is disposed on a patient-side control device, or a part of the endoscope adjusting device is disposed on the doctor-side control device, and another part of the endoscope adjusting device is disposed on the patient-side control device, or at least a part of the endoscope adjusting device is independent from the doctor-side control device and the patient-side control device.
The robot arm pose adjustment method will be described below by taking a currently used endoscope as the first endoscope 41 and taking a target endoscope to be switched as the second endoscope 42 as an example. It can be understood that, when the second endoscope 42 is the target endoscope to be switched, the second mechanical arm 22b is the target mechanical arm that needs to be adjusted in pose, and the first mechanical arm 22a is the current mechanical arm on which the current endoscope is mounted. In addition, the following description may be modified by those skilled in the art to adapt to the case where the currently used endoscope is the second endoscope 42, the second manipulator 22b is the current manipulator, the target endoscope to be switched is the first endoscope 41, and the target manipulator required for pose adjustment is the first manipulator 22 a.
Fig. 7 shows an overall flowchart of the endoscope adjustment method. Referring to fig. 7, the endoscope adjusting method includes:
Step S10, acquiring the position of the target tissue 2 relative to the manipulator base based on the image acquired by the current endoscope, that is, the first endoscope 41. It will be appreciated that the image of the target tissue 2 is displayed in the image acquired by the first endoscope 41.
Step S20, acquiring a target pose of the target mechanical arm, that is, the second mechanical arm 22b, based on the pose of the target tissue 2 relative to the mechanical arm base. The target pose is a corresponding pose of the second robotic arm 22b when the target tissue 2 is within the field of view of the second endoscope 42.
Step S30, acquiring a current position of a joint of the second mechanical arm 22b, and planning a target movement direction of at least one joint of the second mechanical arm 22b based on the current position of the joint of the second mechanical arm 22b and the target pose of the second mechanical arm 22 b.
Thereafter, the second mechanical arm 22b may be controlled to move according to the target movement direction of each joint in any suitable manner, and the second mechanical arm 22b is caused to move to the target pose, so as to drive the second endoscope 42 to move to the view of the second endoscope to cover the target tissue 2. In practice, the movement of the second robot arm 22b may be automatically controlled by the endoscope adjusting device according to the target movement direction of each joint (as shown in fig. 16 and 21), or the movement of the second robot arm 22b may be manually controlled by an operator according to the target movement direction of each joint (as shown in fig. 17), or the movement of the second robot arm 22b may be controlled by an operator according to the target movement direction of each joint through manipulation of the manipulation master hand (as shown in fig. 18).
The current time is considered to be any time during the execution of the robot pose adjustment method.
Based on the above, the endoscope adjusting device at least comprises a first pose acquisition module, a pose planning module, a second pose acquisition module and a motion planning module. The first pose acquisition module is in communication connection with the endoscope assembly, the pose planning module is in communication connection with the first pose acquisition module, and the motion planning module is in communication connection with the pose planning module and the second pose acquisition module. The first pose acquisition module is used for executing the step S10, the pose planning module is used for executing the step S20, and the second pose acquisition module and the motion planning module are used for executing the step S30 together. In addition, "pose" includes position and pose.
Next, step S10, step S20, and step S30 will be further described.
The specific process of step S10 described above includes step S11, step S12, and step S13.
Wherein the step S11 comprises acquiring a position of the target tissue 2 in a coordinate system of an image acquisition element 40c of the first endoscope 41 based on the image acquired by the first endoscope 41. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the image capturing element 40c of the endoscope is a binocular vision device including two cameras. Therefore, the specific operation in step S11 is to first segment the image acquired by the first endoscope 41 by using any suitable image segmentation method, so as to extract the image of the target tissue 2. The position of the target tissue 2 in the coordinate system of the image acquisition element 40c of the first endoscope 41 is then obtained based on the positioning principle of the binocular vision apparatus.
Two cameras of the binocular vision device respectively acquire two digital images of the measured object from different angles at the same time, and recover three-dimensional geometric information of the measured object based on a parallax principle to acquire the position of the measured object. Fig. 8 schematically shows a mathematical modeling diagram of a binocular vision apparatus, and fig. 9 schematically shows a positioning principle diagram of the binocular vision apparatus. The two cameras of the binocular vision apparatus are referred to herein as the left camera and the right camera, respectively. As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the point P ((x, y, z) is a characteristic point on the object to be measured, the coordinate system Flis the coordinate system of the left camera, Olis the optical center of the left camera and the coordinate system FRIs the coordinate system of the right camera, ORIs the optical center of the right camera. If the left camera view point P is utilized, the image of the point P in the image plane 01 of the left camera is the point PLbut we cannot go through PlKnowing the three-dimensional position of P, in fact, at OlPlThe image points on the connecting line, which are arbitrary to the left camera, are all PlThus from PlIs only aware of the position of point P in line OlPlAnd (3) upper part. Similarly, from the right camera, only the point P is known to be located at the execution OrPrand (3) upper part. Thus, when the left camera and the right camera capture the same feature point P ((x, y, z) of the object under test at the same time, the straight line OlPlAnd straight line OrPrThe intersection point of (a) is the position of point P in space.
Optical center O of left cameraLand the right camera ORThe distance between the optical centers of the left camera and the right camera is the base line b, and the focal lengths of the left camera and the right camera are f. The two cameras shoot characteristic points P (x, y, z) of the measured object at the same moment, and the following relational expression is obtained according to the principle of similar triangles:
and then obtain:
Thus, the coordinates of the feature point P on the object under test in the coordinate system of the binocular vision apparatus can be obtained. And similarly, obtaining the coordinates of other characteristic points on the measured object under the coordinate system of the binocular vision device, thereby obtaining the position of the measured object under the binocular vision device. In the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the target tissue 2 in the coordinate system of the image capturing element 40c of the first endoscope 41 is obtained.
step S12 includes acquiring a position of the image capturing element 40c of the first endoscope 41 in the robot arm base coordinate system. As is well known, the first endoscope 41 is mounted on the distal end of the first mechanical arm 22a, and the image capturing element 40c is disposed on the distal end of the first endoscope 41. The position of the image capturing element 40c of the first endoscope 41 in the arm base coordinate system can be obtained based on the design parameters of the first arm 22a, the current joint angles of the respective joints of the first arm 22a, and the design parameters of the first endoscope 41. Preferably, the first pose acquisition module performs the step S12, and performs a positive kinematic calibration (dnavit-Hartenberg calibration, DH calibration) on the first mechanical arm 22a to improve the accuracy of the acquired position of the image acquisition element 40c of the first endoscope 41 under the mechanical arm base coordinate system.
step S13 includes acquiring a position of the target tissue 2 in the arm base coordinate system based on a position of the target tissue 2 in the coordinate system of the image capturing element 40c of the first endoscope 41 and a position of the image capturing element 40c of the first endoscope 41 in the arm base coordinate system.
Step S20 may be implemented by any suitable method in the prior art, as long as the target pose of the second robot arm 22b can be obtained when the target tissue 2 is located within the field of view of the second endoscope 42. It should be appreciated that when planning the target pose of the second robot arm 22b, it should be considered that the target pose of the second robot arm 22b should not interfere with other robots or devices, and that the second robot arm 22b should not collide with other robots or devices when moving from the current pose to the target pose.
The mechanical arm 22 may include a plurality of joints, and as illustrated in fig. 10 to 13, the mechanical arm 22 includes seven joints connected in sequence. In some non-limiting embodiments, the mechanical arm includes an adjusting arm 221 and a tool arm 222 that are connected to each other, the adjusting arm 221 is connected to the operation platform 21 and includes four joints, namely, a first joint 221a, a second joint 221b, a third joint 221c, and a fourth joint 221d that are sequentially connected, and the tool arm 222 includes three joints, namely, a fifth joint 222a, a sixth joint 222b, and a seventh joint 222c that are sequentially connected. The first joint 221a, the third joint 221c, the fourth joint 221d, the fifth joint 222a, and the sixth joint 222b are rotation joints, and the second joint 221b and the seventh joint 222c are translation joints. For the second mechanical arm 22b, the pose adjustment includes position adjustment of seven joints at most, namely: rotating the first joint 221a in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached; translating the second joint 221b from the current position in either the positive or negative direction until the corresponding target position is reached; rotating the third joint 221c in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached; rotating the fourth joint 221d in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached; rotating the fifth joint 222a in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached; rotating the sixth joint 222b in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached; the seventh joint 222c is translated in either a positive or negative direction from the current position until the corresponding target position is reached. Here, for the rotary joint, one of the positive direction and the negative direction is clockwise, the other is counterclockwise, for example, the positive direction is counterclockwise, and the negative direction is clockwise (as shown in fig. 14), for the translational joint, the positive direction is, for example, a direction approaching the target object 1, and the negative direction is a direction separating from the target object 1. It will be appreciated that each joint should move within the allowable range during movement from the current position to the corresponding target position to ensure safety.
as shown in fig. 15, the step S30 includes at least step S31, step S32, step S33, and step S34.
Wherein, the step S31 includes obtaining the current position of a designated joint, such as an nth joint, of the second mechanical arm 22b, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Specifically, the second pose acquisition module receives position data monitored by a position sensor installed at the joint, and further acquires the current position of the corresponding joint according to the position data. The position sensor may be an angle encoder or other type of angle sensor for a rotary joint and a distance sensor for a translational joint. It is to be appreciated that the second pose acquisition module is communicatively coupled to the position sensor.
The step S32 includes acquiring a target position of each joint of the second mechanical arm 22b according to the target pose of the second mechanical arm 22 b. The target pose of the second robot arm 22b is determined by the target positions of the respective joints of the second robot arm 22 b. Conversely, knowing the target pose of the second robotic arm 22b, the target positions of the various joints of the second robotic arm 22b can be deduced back from the configuration of the second robotic arm 22 b. In practice, the step S32 may obtain the target position of each joint by calculating the second robot arm 22b using a robot inverse kinematics algorithm.
the step S33 includes calculating a difference between the target position and the current position of the nth joint.
step S34 includes determining whether the nth joint is located at a position corresponding to the target position according to a difference between the target position and the current position of the nth joint, if not, step S35 is further performed, and step S35 includes obtaining a target movement direction of the nth joint according to a difference between the target position and the current position of the nth joint.
In step S34, if the difference between the target position and the current position of the nth joint is within the preset range, it is determined that the nth joint is at the target position. And if the difference value between the target position and the current position of the N joint is not in the preset range, judging that the N joint is not in the target pose.
if the difference between the target position of the nth joint and the current position is a positive value, the target movement direction of the nth joint obtained in the step S35 is a positive direction, otherwise, if the difference between the target position of the nth joint and the current position is a negative value, the target movement direction of the nth joint obtained in the step S35 is a negative direction. For example, when the nth joint is a rotary joint, the target position of the nth joint is θgoalThe current position is theta0If thetagoal0And when the target motion direction of the N joint is positive, the target motion direction of the N joint is along the positive direction, and when the target motion direction of the N joint is negative, the target motion direction of the N joint is along the negative direction. When the nth joint is a translation joint and the nth joint translates in the Y direction (as shown in fig. 11, for example), the target position of the nth joint is Ngoal(0,ygoal0), the current position is N0(0,y00), the difference between the two can be directly expressed as ygoal-y0If ygoal-y0If positive, the target movement direction of the nth joint in translation is positive, if ygoal-y0And if the motion direction is negative, the target motion direction of the nth joint during translation is the reverse direction.
it will be appreciated that steps S32 to S35 are performed by the motion planning module, and the motion planning module performs step S32 once, and performs at least steps S33 and S34 for each joint.
In some embodiments, the endoscope adjustment device further comprises a motion control module in communication with the motion planning module and the robot. The endoscope adjustment method further includes a step S50 performed by the motion control module, the step S50 including controlling each joint of the second mechanical arm 22b to move in a corresponding target motion direction. That is, as shown in fig. 16 and 21, after the target movement direction of the nth joint is acquired, the nth joint is automatically controlled by the movement control module to move in accordance with the target movement direction thereof.
in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 17, after the target movement direction of the nth joint of the second robot arm 22b is acquired, the nth joint is manually controlled by the operator to move in accordance with the target movement direction thereof, or, as shown in fig. 18, the nth joint is controlled by the operator to move in accordance with the target movement direction thereof by manipulating the manipulation master hand.
it will be appreciated that, for the joint performing the step S35, the steps S33 and S34 are also repeatedly performed during the nth joint movement of the second mechanical arm 22b until the corresponding joint reaches the corresponding target position.
Further, the surgical robot system further comprises a display device, and correspondingly, the endoscope adjusting device further comprises a display control module, and the display control module is in communication connection with the display device. As shown in fig. 15, the endoscope adjusting method further includes a step S60 performed by the display control module, the step S60 including controlling the display device to display the target movement direction of the nth joint. Thus, when the motion control module automatically controls the nth joint to move according to the target motion direction, an operator can confirm whether the motion of the nth joint is correct through the display of the display device. And when the operator controls the nth joint movement manually or by manipulating the operation master hand, the operator can intuitively see the specific direction of the target movement direction through the display of the display device.

The step S01 includes generating a confirmation message. The step S02 includes controlling the display device to display the confirmation information, so as to prompt the operator to confirm the current nth joint. It will be appreciated that in adjusting the pose of the second robot arm 22b, the adjustment operation is typically performed on all the joints sequentially in the connection order, starting from the first joint 221 a. The endoscope adjustment method further includes a step S36 executed by the motion planning module after the position adjustment of each joint is finished, where the step S36 includes determining whether all joints of the second mechanical arm 22b are at respective corresponding target positions (i.e., determining whether the second mechanical arm 22b reaches the target pose), if not, updating N, and executing the step S01, the step S02, the step S42, etc. for the N-th joint after the update, if yes, determining that the second mechanical arm 2b reaches the target pose, and executing the step S90 and the step S100, where the step S90 includes the prompt information generating module generating second prompt information, and the step S100 includes the display control module controlling the display device to display the second prompt information.
accordingly, as shown in fig. 16 to 18 and 21, a specific procedure when the operator switches the currently used first endoscope 41 to the second endoscope 42 in the process of performing the surgical operation by the surgical robot is as follows:
First, the steps S10, S20, and S32 are performed, and then the steps S01 and S02 are performed. After confirming that the joint to be currently adjusted is the nth joint, the operator executes the step S31, the step S33 and the step S34 for the nth joint. If the determination result of the step S34 is yes, the steps S70, S80 and S36 are executed. If the determination result of the step S36 is yes, the step S90 and the step S100 are executed again, and if the determination result of the step S36 is no, the N is updated, and the step S01 and the subsequent steps are executed based on the updated N. If the determination result of the above step S34 is "no", the step S35 is executed for the nth joint, and then the steps S60 and S50 are executed. And repeatedly executing the step S31 and the following steps in the process of executing the step S50 on the nth joint until the nth joint reaches the target position, that is, the judgment result of the step S34 is yes, and then executing the steps after the step S34.
As previously described, step S50 may be performed by the motion control module of the endoscope adjusting device, or manually controlled by an operator (as shown in fig. 17) or by manipulating the operating master hand to control the nth joint (as shown in fig. 18) to move in its target motion direction. The other steps are all performed by the endoscope adjusting device.
